Supporting Maths at Home

We understand that calculation methods (and the way they are taught) have changed since our generation went to primary school!

View our videos for step-by-step guides on how to the calculation methods taught here at Gray's Farm.

Within the below document you will find images explaining the different methods we, as a school, use for the four basic operations in maths (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.) The images show the development in methods as the children progress throughout the school. Hopefully you will find it helpful when supporting your children at home.
